With your help, the Skeptics for the Protection of Cancer Patients plan to [raise] at least $30,000 by [Burzynski’s] birthday, then challenging the Burzynski Clinic to match whatever they raise, with the total amount going to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to support legitimate cancer research and science-based care, even for children who can’t afford it (a novel concept for Burzynski, who charges $30,000 just for one person to enter his “clinical trial” of antineoplaston therapy, a trial that has conveniently been in the preliminary stages for more than 30 years).

I must express some thanks to this writer for rescuing me from this dilemma. After scouting throughout the world wide web and finding basics that were not helpful, I was thinking my entire life was well over. Existing devoid of the approaches to the problems you’ve resolved by means of your main report is a critical case, and those that might have adversely affected my career if I hadn’t discovered your web site. Your personal capability and kindness in taking care of the whole lot was tremendous. I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t discovered such a thing like this. It’s possible to at this point look forward to my future. Thank you very much for this high quality and sensible guide. I will not hesitate to suggest your blog to any individual who needs recommendations about this issue.
